I thought maybe as a man I might not know exactly how it would feel but then again a woman wouldn’t either if she hadn’t experienced this. As a nurse and as a single father to my 20 year old daughter, I could only imagine being faced with this question.

While effective, this may not be the best course of action to prevent disease progression. Another school of thought is to treat the underlying cause of the symptoms and promote significant lifestyle changes to help decrease comorbidities.…
